Spinach Bites are crispy, flavorful, and a nutrient-dense alternative to traditional chips. Perfect as a healthy snack or a crunchy addition to salads and soups.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

200 grams fresh spinach leaves
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt to taste

Procedure:

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Ensure the spinach leaves are completely dry. Any moisture can make the chips soggy. Remove any thick stems or large veins from the spinach leaves.
In a large bowl, toss the spinach leaves with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt over the spinach leaves, if using. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the spinach leaves out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping the leaves to ensure they crisp up evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the spinach leaves are crispy and slightly curled. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the spinach chips cool on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool. Enjoy the spinach chips as a healthy snack or a crunchy topping for salads and soups.
